How to migrate from bbPress without losing data

Sofia Romano Sofia Romano 2 months ago Resolved

Reference guide. The bbPress importer preserves original dates, maps forums to spaces and forum categories to Jetonomy categories, and supports a dry run.

  1. Back up your database.
  2. Run wp jetonomy import bbpress --dry-run to preview.
  3. Run the import; it batches large datasets to avoid timeouts.

Great point. I had not considered the angle you raised in the second paragraph — it reframes the whole thing for me.

Appreciate the clear steps. The dry-run tip in particular saved me from a mistake I would not have caught otherwise.

Adding a small note: the same idea applies on mobile, just with a bit more attention to tap targets.

We ran into the same situation last quarter. What worked for us was starting small and only adding complexity when a real need showed up.

Thanks for writing this up. Bookmarking it — the kind of thing I will want to reference again in a month.
